Busted: from then until now

To celebrate the boy band’s reunion tour, we’re taking a look back at their appearances over the years. Oh, how they’ve changed!

2002

When this trio launched the rock band 14 years ago, millions of girls would swoon over them for the next decade and suddenly, every ‘cool’ guy in school had an eyebrow piercing and bleach-blonde highlights…

And, let’s be honest, we had this song on repeat.

2004

Suited and booted, the boys bagged two awards at the BRITs for Best British Breakthrough Act and Best Pop Act. Go team!

2005

If we didn’t know what heartbreak was back then, we certainly did come 2005 when James, Matt and Charlie called it a day to pursue other projects. Sob.

2014

We couldn’t believe our luck when McBusted arrived – FYI, that’s James and Matt alongside McFly. But, sadly, there was one thing missing: Charlie was still flying solo.

2016

All three Busted boys are back and they’re looking pretty suave. How did we survive without them for all those years?
